Owen Hargreaves is key to this World Cup

Don't laugh. I'm deadly serious. If he plays as well as he does for Bayern Munich (voted player of the team by the Bayern fans ahead of Ballack), as a holding player, a kind of Makelele, then Gerard and Lampard can go forward at will. It's a shame he hasn't gelled well for England and the fans booing him is not helping his confidence.

Remember you heard it here first (TM).

Shame its too late to bring Butt back.

He did very well in that role last time.

I haven't heard of him. Is he a footballer?

I believe he is a Faithhealer and has a handy left foot.

I know someone called Faith who is not well. Do you think he could help her? Does he also have a footy left hand?

He was the biggest pile of tulipe on legs last season.
